This is the handheld massager that provides both hot and cold therapy. Ideal for relaxing tired muscles or relieving inflammation of stiff joints, its dual thermal system provides 113º F heat that stimulates blood circulation like a hot-stone massage while its 35º F cooling reduces swelling like an ice pack. Unlike vibrating massagers that only stimulate the surface of the skin, its two-speed percussive head generates 2,100 - 2,500 rpm vibrations that penetrate deep into muscles and relieve tightness and knots; its ergonomic head reaches areas that lesser massagers cannot. Cordless, its rechargeable battery provides up to 45 minutes of massage from a one-hour charge using the included AC adapter. 15 3/4" L x 4 1/2" W x 3" D. (1 1/2 lbs.)

I read all of the reviews before buying. They were helpful in the decision process. The issue of weight in many of the other reviews was not a problem for me. I put it to work immediately. My husband had a back injury and I had other muscle issues. It is great and helps. It is a nice home option to support what my chiropractor does. I had been looking for an affordable option. This is it!

When you read about this product in your catalog or online it sounds really good...a messager that provides heat or cold as desired. But once in your hands you realize this is neither a good messager nor a good heating pad or cold pack. As most "combined" products are, this one gives up a lot on the primary products (a messager, a heating pad, a cold pack) to combine them into one product that results in a messager without much power, a cold and heat source that is too small. It's a great concept that could not make it into a viable product.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

This is one of the most effective massagers I have purchased. It is best used by a friend on your back and such. It is very strong and provides the deep tissue massage I've spent $60 - $100 per visit at the massage parlor. So for the cost of one massage, I bought this and am so pleased with the results. My boyfriend bought me a massage table and luckily for me, he enjoys using it to make me feel better. Also, the strong massage will get toxins out of your muscles, which is good for overall health ! I've been known to go straight to sleep after a good deep tissue massage with this product. But, like I said, would not be as useful to me if I did not have a helper to do my back side.

The cold portion of the device doesn't get very cold. It was not worth keeping.

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. The Therapy Massager reduces to 35 degrees F, reducing swelling similar to an ice pack. However, if you are ever disappointed with a product - for any reason - we request that you return it to us. Please call our 24-hour customer service hotline at 1-800-321-1484 and one of our representatives will be happy to assist you.

Due to weight and length hard for senior to hold in specific spot, especially back. I use it for leg, back,shoulder and neck pain. However, the next best is impossible to use - hand strapped and can't balance on top of small hand. I'll take this any day.

I have been looking for a heavy duty massager. One that will reach my back and that has enough power to relieve tension knots that I get from computer work and driving. This has done the trick. I thought I was going to have to wait for weeks, but it turned out to be just days. The hot and cold is instant and has been a pleasant feature that I didn't think I needed. Better to use over clothing it doesn't glide over bare skin as well.

So far I have only used the heat setting. The vibration and the heat feel good on my sore lower back. Since the massager is somewhat heavy, and the place I was trying to reach awkward, I was afraid of dropping it.

This does work, don't get me wrong. But it would be better if ONLY the head vibrated. There should be non-slip grips on the handle. By the time I use it on my shoulders or anywhere else, my hand is very sore.
